How do you pronounce Alsace?
 

Hi, question for any French people out there - or French speakers - how do you pronounce Alsace?

Thanks
Kay

E-L-S-A-S-S

Al-soss

"Al sas" as in Kansas.

How do you pronounce Elsässer Flammkuchen?

I don't think it sounds like "Kansas" any more.

<b>al</b> rhymes with &quot;moll&quot;

<b>sace</b> rhymes with the first syllable in &quot;posse&quot;

Now if someone could tell me the difference between a Lothringian Speckkuchen and an Alsacien Flammkuchen I'd be really happy. :-).
It's the bacon, right? :-)

El Sake

Oder ein Zweibruckner Zweibelkuchen

Bacon and onions, or just onions? Yummy

Oh definitely with the bacon. So delicious!

Go to this site, choose the French speakers, and listen to what they have to say:

How do you pronounce Els&auml;sser Flammkuchen?

Phonetically as in &quot;tarte flamb&eacute;e alsacienne&quot;...... :-)

Hmmm... No wonder people have found it funny when I tried to pronounce it like &quot;El Sauce&quot;!

All-Sauce

Often spelled <b>Zweibr&uuml;cker Zwiebelkuchen</b> (see &quot;spelling counts&quot; thread).

Al sass

I know it is wrong because the &quot;s&quot; is not between two vowels but most French people say Al zass with a z. Personnally I never heard Al sass. :-)

El Sauce, with the stress on &quot;El.&quot;

No &quot;sauce&quot;, please ! :-)
The vowel &quot;a&quot; in French is fairly simple to pronounce when it is used alone (I am not speaking of diphtongs). Why pronounce &quot;al&quot; as &quot;el&quot; or as &quot;au&quot;?
